Everything You Need To Know About All The Changes Coming To The TTC This October

October will bring some big improvements for TTC riders in Toronto.

Autumn is the best season when you live in Toronto, from all the trees changing colours in the city's parks to the energy that bleeds from the city streets in the fall air.

But with the change of seasons comes a change in projects for the city, including Toronto's transit system. While construction season is coming to a close, the TTC has some changes coming in October that will actually cause some major improvement.

Luckily for commuters, this autumn the upgrades coming to the TTC will actually benefit those of us who the streetcar and subway to get to work or school every day. There will be changes made to bus routes, subways, and streetcar routes to make the city's transit service run more efficiently.

It doesn't matter where you live in the city either, because changes are going to be made to specific routes and across the transit system as a whole, meaning that everyone will feel the effects of the October shift.

If you're a regular rider of the streetcars on King Street the change in the 504 and 514 routes may have you confused. Don't worry though, while the routing is actually remaining the exact same, there will be two alternative 504 streetcars.

514 Cherry streetcars will officially be discontinued.

Instead, there will be the 504A from Dundas West Station to Distillery and 504B from Broadview Station to Dufferin Gate.

The new express routes will surely get Torontonians where they need to be in less time than ever but there are additional changes to select bus routes for the best transit time yet. Independent routes can expect more service to get from point A to point B with ease.

11 Bayview - this route is having it's transit time revised to improve reliability, as well as increased service during weekday peak hours.

54 Lawrence East - this route will have increased service on Saturday afternoons.
